Great, thanks for the feedback, Sam.

Custom Events are nice for application development and so far people have been
emulating them using YUI or jQuery .bind().

Basically I'm implementing CustomEvent as it serves our needs and because I
didn't want to implement the event part of the W3C Widgets 1.0 spec as it has a
lot of issues and is in flux.

I will do the JSValue change.

Can you give me some hints on how to test the garbage collection?
